PROXY STATEMENT FOR
2009 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
The Board of Directors of ManTech International Corporation (Board) is soliciting proxies to be voted at the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (Annual Meeting) to be held on Thursday, May 14, 2009, at 11 am (EDT), at The Hyatt Fair Lakes, 12777 Fair Lakes Circle, Fairfax, VA 22033, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof.
The mailing address of our principal executive offices is 12015 Lee Jackson Highway, Fairfax, VA 22033-3300. This proxy statement, the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the enclosed proxy card are first being mailed to our stockholders on or about April 3, 2009 (Mailing Date).
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Board is soliciting proxies to be voted at the Annual Meeting. When we ask you for your proxy, we must provide you with a proxy statement that contains certain information specified by law.
At the Annual Meeting, we will ask you to consider and vote on the following matters:
1. | To elect ten (10) persons as directors of the Company, each to serve for a term of one year; and |
2. | To ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009. |
We do not expect any other items of business because the deadline for stockholder proposals and nominations has already passed. Nonetheless, in case there is an unforeseen need, the accompanying proxy gives discretionary authority to the persons named on the proxy, George J. Pedersen and Jeffrey S. Brown, with respect to any other matters that might be brought before the meeting. Those persons intend to vote that proxy in accordance with their discretion and best judgment.
Record Date and Stockholders Entitled to Vote
Record Date |
Stockholders as of the close of business on March 20, 2009 (Record Date) may vote at the Annual Meeting. |
Our Stock |
We have two classes of outstanding stock: our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock. As of March 20, 2009, a total of 35,536,160 shares were outstanding: 21,857,815 shares of Class A common stock and 13,678,345 shares of Class B common stock. Holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share of Class A common stock they hold on the Record Date. Holders of Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes for each share of Class B common stock they hold on the Record Date. |
1
Voting Requirements and Other Matters
Quorum |
The holders of a majority in voting power of the common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be present, either in person or by proxy, to constitute a quorum for the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes are considered present at the meeting for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. |
Broker Non-Votes |
If your shares are held by a broker, the broker will ask you how you want your shares to be voted. If you give the broker instructions, your shares will be voted as you direct. If you do not give instructions for the election of directors and the ratification of auditors, the broker may vote your shares in its discretion. For any other proposal, the broker may not vote your shares at all. When that happens, it is called a broker non-vote. |
How to Vote Your Shares |
You can only vote your shares at the Annual Meeting if you are present either in person or by proxy. |
If you vote by mail, you must sign and date each proxy card that you receive and return it in the prepaid envelope. Sign your name exactly as it appears on the proxy. If you return a proxy card that is not signed, then your vote cannot be counted. If you return a proxy card that is signed and dated, but you do not specify voting instructions, we will vote on your behalf for the election of the nominees for director listed below and for the ratification of the appointment of the independent auditors, in accordance with the Boards recommendations.
You may vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting. However, we encourage you to vote by proxy card even if you plan to attend the meeting.
Voting ESOP Shares |
Stockholders who are current or former employees participating in our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and have shares of our stock allocated to their account as of the Record Date have the right to direct the plan trustee on how to vote their shares. If you do not send instructions to the plan trustee in a proper manner, or if the instructions are not timely received, the trustee will not vote the shares allocable to your account. |
Votes Required for Approval |
There are different vote requirements for the two proposals. |
Ø Election of Directors |
Each of the ten nominees for director who receive a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting will be elected. Because a plurality vote is required, broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of the vote on this matter they are treated as neither votes for nor votes against the election of directors. |
Ø Ratification of Auditors |
The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP (D&T) to serve as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009 will be approved if the votes cast for the proposal exceed those cast against the proposal. Abstentions and broker non-votes, are not considered votes cast on the proposal, and are excluded from the pool of shares that may be voted, and because they will be treated as unvoted for purposes of this proposal, will have the effect of neither a vote for nor a vote against the ratification of D&T to serve as our independent auditors. |
2
Tabulation of Votes |
Mr. Joseph Cormier, our Vice President Corporate Development, has been appointed inspector of elections for the Annual Meeting. Mr. Cormier will separately tabulate the affirmative votes, negative votes, abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each of the proposals. |
Voting Results |
We will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting. We will disclose the final results in the next quarterly report on Form 10-Q that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after the Annual Meeting. |
Revoking Your Proxy |
If you execute a proxy pursuant to this solicitation, you may revoke it at any time prior to its exercise by (i) delivering written notice to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices before the Annual Meeting; (ii) executing and delivering a proxy bearing a later date to our Corporate Secretary at our principal executive offices; or (iii) voting in person at the Annual Meeting. |
Ownership by Insiders
As of March 20, 2009, our directors and executive officers beneficially owned an aggregate of 295,743 shares of Class A common stock and 13,678,345 shares Class B common stock (such number includes shares of common stock that may be issued upon exercise of outstanding options that are currently exercisable or that may be exercised prior to May 19, 2009), which constitutes approximately 39.3% of our outstanding common stock and 79.5% of the voting control of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Solicitation
The Board is making this solicitation of proxies on our behalf. In addition to the solicitation of proxies by use of the mail, our officers and employees may solicit the return of proxies by personal interview, telephone, email or facsimile. We will not pay additional compensation to our officers and employees for their solicitation efforts, but we will reimburse them for any out-of-pocket expenses they incur in their solicitation efforts.
We will request that brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries forward our solicitation materials to beneficial owners of our common stock that is registered in their names. We will bear all costs associated with preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this proxy statement and the accompanying materials, the cost of forwarding our solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of our common stock, and all other costs of solicitation.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Corporate Governance Guidelines
The Board has established and adopted guidelines that it follows in matters of corporate governance (Corporate Governance Guidelines). These Corporate Governance Guidelines assist the Board in the exercise of its responsibilities and provide a framework for the efficient operation of our Company, consistent with the best interests of our stockholders and applicable legal and regulatory requirements. We have posted our Corporate Governance Guidelines on the Corporate Governance page in the Investors Relations section of our website at www.mantech.com (our Website).
We have also made available on the Corporate Governance page of our Website a number of other important documents related to our governance practices, including
| Charters of all six of our standing Board Committees |
| Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws |
| Code of Ethics (Standards of Ethics and Business Conduct) |
| Related Party Transactions Policy |
| Stock Option Grant Policy |
| Formal policy regarding the consideration of director candidates recommended by stockholders |
We will also make these materials available in print format to any requesting stockholder.
Director Independence
The Board is comprised of a majority of directors who are independent from management. Each of our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are comprised entirely of independent directors.
The Board has conducted an evaluation of director independence, based on the independence standards applicable to Nasdaq-listed companies and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. In the course of the Boards evaluation of the independence of each non-management director, the Board considered any transactions, relationships and arrangements between each such director (or any member of his or her immediate family) and the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine whether any relationships or transactions exist that could be inconsistent with a determination by the Board that the director has no relationship that would interfere with his or her exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
As a result of this evaluation, the Board has affirmatively determined that the following directors nominated for election at the Annual Meeting are independent of the Company and its management under the above referenced standards and regulations: Mary Bush, Barry Campbell, Walter Fatzinger, David Jeremiah, Richard Kerr, Kenneth Minihan, and Stephen Porter.
The Board determined that George Pedersen, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Robert Coleman, our current President and Chief Operating Officer, are not independent because they are employed by the Company.
The Board determined that Richard Armitage is not independent because his brother-in-law is a partner with the Companys independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche LLP.
7
Audit Committee Member Qualifications and Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Audit Committee operates under a written charter that is available on the Corporate Governance page of our Website. The Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of the Audit Committee Charter on an annual basis. The charter was most recently revised and amended in March 2008.
The Board annually reviews the qualifications of our Audit Committee members in light of the Nasdaq listing standards definition of independence for audit committee members and applicable SEC rules and regulations. The Board has determined that each member of our Audit Committee is independent, as director independence is specifically defined with respect to Audit Committee members under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules and regulations.
The Board has also determined that the Company has at least one audit committee financial expert serving on the Audit Committee. The Board has identified Mr. Campbell as a member of the Audit Committee who (i) qualifies as an audit committee financial expert under applicable SEC rules and regulations governing the composition of the Audit Committee, and (ii) satisfies the financial sophistication requirement of the Nasdaq listing standards. Mr. Campbell is independent from management.
Communication with Directors
We believe that it is important for our stockholders to be able to communicate their concerns to our Board. Stockholders may correspond with any director, committee member, or the Board of Directors generally, by writing to the following address: ManTech International Corporation Board of Directors, 12015 Lee Jackson Highway, Fairfax, VA 22033-3300, Attention: Corporate Secretary. Please specify to whom your correspondence should be directed. Our Corporate Secretary has been instructed to promptly forward all correspondences to the relevant director, committee member, or the full Board of Directors, as indicated in your correspondence.
Presiding Independent Director
Our independent directors have designated Mr. Campbell to serve as the Presiding Independent Director. Mr. Campbells duties as Presiding Independent Director include
| Coordinating the activities of the independent directors (or non-management directors, in certain circumstances) |
| Calling for meetings or sessions of the independent directors (or non-management directors, in certain circumstances) |
| Presiding at executive sessions and coordinating the agenda for such sessions |
| Facilitating communications and functioning as principal liaison on Board-wide issues between the independent directors and the Chairman of the Board |
| When necessary, recommending the retention of outside advisors and consultants who report directly to the Board |
Director Attendance at Annual Meeting of Stockholders
We invite all of our directors to attend our annual meeting of stockholders, and we strongly encourage all of them to do so. In furtherance of this policy, we have scheduled one of our regularly scheduled Board meetings on the same day as the Annual Meeting. In 2008, all of our directors attended our annual meeting of stockholders except for Ms. Bush.
8
Director Nominations
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors, is responsible for reviewing the qualifications of and selecting director candidates for nomination by the Board. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter that is available on the Corporate Governance page of our Website.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee generally identifies and attracts candidates through its own efforts, and it believes that this method has been effective. However, if in the future the Board determines that it is in the Companys best interest to use the services of a consultant or a search firm to assist with the identification and selection process, it will do so.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee has a policy regarding the consideration of director candidates recommended by our stockholders (Nominations Policy). The Nominations Policy describes the circumstances pursuant to which the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider Board candidates recommended by our stockholders. The Nominations Policy also describes the procedures to be followed by such stockholders in submitting their recommendations. We have made the Nominations Policy available on the Corporate Governance page of our Website.
Generally, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates recommended by stockholders who beneficially own at least 1% of our outstanding stock at the time of recommendation (a Qualifying Stockholder). Qualifying Stockholders wishing to recommend candidates to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may do so by submitting a completed Stockholder Recommendation of Candidate for Director Form (Recommendation Form), which is available for download via a hyperlink that is embedded in the Nominations Policy posted on our Website.
Qualifying Stockholders wishing to recommend a nominee for election as director at the next annual meeting of stockholders must submit their completed Recommendation Form at least 120 days in advance of the one-year anniversary of the date of the mailing of this proxy statement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will only evaluate a candidate if he or she has indicated a willingness to serve as a director and cooperates with the evaluation process.
Code of Ethics
In January 2009, we revised our Standards of Ethics and Business Conduct, which sets forth the policies comprising our code of conduct. Our policies satisfy the SECs requirements for a code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller and persons performing similar functions, as well as Nasdaqs requirements for a code of conduct applicable to all directors, officers and employees. Among other principles, our Standards of Ethics and Business Conduct includes guidelines relating to the ethical handling of actual or potential conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, accurate financial reporting, and procedures for promoting compliance with (and reporting violations of) such standards. A copy of our Standards of Ethics and Business Conduct is available on the Corporate Governance page on our Website. We are required to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or persons performing similar functions. We intend to use our Website as a method of disseminating this disclosure, as permitted by applicable SEC rules.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
The two primary functions of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are (i) to identify individuals qualified to become members of the Board and recommend persons for the Board to select as nominees for election to the Board, and (ii) to oversee the Companys corporate governance policies and procedures, and develop and review periodically the Companys Corporate Governance Guidelines. All members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent directors, within the meaning of applicable Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. During 2008, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held three meetings. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is currently comprised of four directors: Messrs. Porter, Campbell, Kerr and Minihan. Mr. Porter serves as chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Retirement Plan Committee
The primary function of the Retirement Plan Committee is to oversee the operation and funding of our tax-qualified and non-qualified retirement plans. In 2008, the Retirement Plan Committee held five meetings. The Retirement Plan Committee is currently comprised of four directors: Messrs. Fatzinger, Armitage and Campbell, and Ms. Bush. Mr. Fatzinger serves as chairman of the Retirement Plan Committee.
Special Programs Oversight Committee
The Board formed the Special Programs Oversight Committee in October 2007 for the purpose of providing oversight of certain of the Companys business activities involving programs designated as classified by the United States government and other potential new programs, technologies, or government relations activities. In 2008, the Special Programs Oversight Committee held one meeting. The Special Programs Oversight Committee is currently comprised of six directors: Messrs. Kerr, Pedersen, Armitage, Coleman, Jeremiah, and Minihan. Mr. Kerr serves as chairman of the Special Programs Oversight Committee.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee was established for the purpose of assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities. The Executive Committee is authorized to exercise the powers of the Board in managing the affairs of the Company during intervals between Board meetings, when Board action is necessary or desirable but convening a special Board meeting is not warranted or practical. Currently, the Executive Committee is comprised of three directors: Messrs. Pedersen, Armitage and Fatzinger. Mr. Pedersen serves as the chairman of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee did not meet in 2008.
11
Attendance at Board and Committee Meetings
During 2008, each of our incumbent directors attended or participated in at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) the total number of meetings of the Board, and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which such director served (during the period that such person served as a director or committee member, as applicable).
Compensation of Directors
Our Compensation Committee sets director compensation. The Compensation Committee generally reviews director compensation on an annual basis, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis.
We do not compensate any director who is also an employee of the Company for his or her service on the Board or any committee of the Board. In certain circumstances, members of the Board may receive reimbursement for certain expenses incurred in connection with attending Board or committee meetings.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The Compensation Committee of ManTechs Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed with ManTechs management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis that follows this report. Based on that review and the discussions with management, the Compensation Committee recommended to ManTechs Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement and incorporated into ManTechs Form 10-K.

Barry G. Campbell
Adm. David E. Jeremiah, USN Ret.
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The following discussion and analysis contains statements regarding individual and Company performance targets and goals. These targets and goals are disclosed in the limited context of our compensation program. Such targets and goals are not statements of our expectations or estimates of results or other guidance. Investors should not apply such targets and goals to any other context.
Our Compensation Philosophy
ManTech operates in a competitive, dynamic and specialized industry. Our industry presents growth opportunities for companies with the right employees. We believe that in order to compete effectively in this industry, we must attract and retain highly-qualified and able executives who often possess special talents, credentials and experience. Both inside and outside our executive group, our unique business environment also requires us to obtain the services of employees with the highest security clearances issued in the United States, and the competition for the services of these employees is intense.
Our compensation philosophy seeks to support our key business objectives of creating value for, and promoting the interests of, our stockholders. In order to align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders, we believe that our executive compensation programs must provide our executive officers with competitive compensation opportunities, based upon both their contribution to the development and financial success of ManTech and their personal performance.
Specifically, we believe that our executive compensation programs should:
| Reflect the competitive marketplace, so we are able to attract, retain and motivate talented executives; |
| Be tied in substantial part to financial performance, so that our executives are held accountable through their compensation for the performance of ManTech and (if applicable) the business units for which they are responsible; |
| Be tied in part to the executives individual performance, so that our programs encourage and recognize individual contributions to ManTechs performance; |
| Be tied in part to ManTechs long-term objectives, through grants of stock options or other stock-based compensation; and |
| Balance executives incentives to increase annual performance with a concern for ManTechs longer-term performance as well, including appropriately discouraging unnecessary and excessive risk taking. |
The Compensation Committee is primarily responsible for setting the compensation of our executive officers. Our Compensation Committee has not delegated any of its authority to set the compensation of our
14
executive officers. Management is primarily responsible for setting the compensation of other employees, including our non-executive officers.
Types of Compensation That We Pay Our Executives
Our compensation program is grounded in three principal types of compensation: base salary, annual cash incentive payments, and stock-based compensation (primarily stock options). While we do pay some compensation through employee benefits and perquisites, these forms of compensation generally represent an insignificant portion of the total compensation we pay our executives.
Base Salary
We pay our executive officers base salaries that reflect the requirements of the marketplace. A reasonable salary is part of a well-rounded compensation program. The salary for individual executives substantially reflects our evaluation of the salary levels in effect for comparable positions within and outside of our industry. We also consider the individual executives experience, base salary in the prior year, personal performance, internal base salary comparability considerations, and (if applicable) the size of the business unit for which the executive is responsible. The consideration given to each of these factors differs from individual to individual, as deemed appropriate.
Annual Executive Incentive Compensation Program
On the Summary Compensation Table on page 24, the cash payments made pursuant to our annual executive incentive compensation program to our named executive officers (NEOs) are reported as follows:
| The Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column is used to report the portion of the annual cash incentive that is calculated and paid based on pre-established, non-discretionary goals, pursuant to the Companys annual incentive compensation plan, which is described below. The Compensation Committee reserves the discretion under the annual incentive compensation plan to reduce the amount that will be paid. |
| The Bonus column is used to report any amounts of annual cash incentives that are discretionary payments not made pursuant to pre-established goals of the annual incentive compensation plan. These discretionary bonus payments are described in greater detail below. |
Non-Discretionary Cash Payments
Our executive officers have the potential to earn annual cash incentive payments pursuant to an annual incentive compensation plan that utilizes a uniform, systematic and measurable process for determining the amount of incentive compensation to be paid to our executive officers. The plan contains performance targets for annual cash incentives, which may include factors based on total Company performance, as well as the performance of individual business units, depending on the executive officer.
In the first quarter of each calendar year performance period, specific performance objectives and goals are established for the Company and the various business units. The performance objectives of the business units are formulated to support the goals and objectives for the Company as a whole. The Compensation Committee approves all of the performance objectives used in the annual incentive compensation plan. Our executives incentive payments are based on achieving these goals and objectives. The Compensation Committee measures each executives achievement of the goals and objectives by reference to pre-established performance factors, which may include any of the following:
| Revenue Revenue is the principal means by which we measure our overall growth, which is an important factor at this point in the life of ManTech. Because of profit margin limitations that apply to |
15
government contracts, increasing our revenue is the principal method by which we can increase our profits. Increases in revenue also reflect our business strategy, which emphasizes an increase in absolute size, which we believe is an important element in remaining competitive in a consolidating industry. Revenue is a Company measure and revenue growth is a business unit measure. |
| Accounts Receivable Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) DSO is a measure of the average number of days between the date of a sale and the collection of the revenue from that sale. DSO is an important measure that drives our cash flow. DSO targets are reflected in the annual Company goals because of the importance of cash collection to our business. DSO is both a Company measure and a business unit measure. |
| Bookings Awards of new contracts and the renewal of existing contracts are an important measure of our ability to increase our revenues. Bookings refers to the total value of all contracts, including renewals and customer purchases in excess of prior contracted commitments, executed during the year. Bookings targets are reflected in the annual Company goals because of their importance for meeting present and future revenue targets. Bookings are adjusted for indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts, which are recognized at a percentage of the potential contract amount. Bookings is both a Company measure and a business unit measure. |
| EBIT Percentage Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) is the principal method by which we measure our profitability and monitor our ability to achieve returns for our stockholders. For purposes of the Annual Incentive Compensation Plan, we measure EBIT as a percentage of total revenue (EBIT Percentage). EBIT Percentage targets are reflected in the annual Company goals because of the importance of achieving earnings targets and remaining competitive in a highly-competitive and consolidating industry. EBIT Percentage is only a Company measure. |
We make our incentive payments annually, when earned and after our financial results for the year have been finally determined. We have chosen to make annual incentive compensation payments in the form of cash rather than stock, because this practice is customary in our industry. In general, cash compensation is a recoverable cost under the terms of our government contracts, while stock-based compensation is not recoverable. By paying our annual incentives in cash rather than stock, we also limit shareholder dilution resulting from executive compensation. The annual cash incentive payment as a percentage of an executives total potential cash compensation generally increases with the level and responsibilities of the executive.
The Compensation Committee reserves the ability, in appropriate circumstances, to reduce the amount of the non-discretionary portion of an executives annual cash incentive payment that would otherwise be payable upon the executives achievement of the pre-established goals. As further explained below, the Compensation Committee exercised this discretion with respect to the annual non-discretionary incentives payable to Mr. Pedersen, Mr. Coleman and Mr. Phillips for 2008.
Discretionary Cash Bonus Payments
In addition to potential payments under the annual incentive compensation plan, the Compensation Committee may make discretionary bonus payments in certain circumstances to reward outstanding performance of individual executives or business units where that outstanding performance is not adequately reflected by the non-discretionary portion of the executives annual incentive program. The potential discretionary payments are particularly important for compensating our executive officers with primary business unit responsibilities. In 2008, only Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Bryanthe two NEOs with primary business unit responsibilitiesreceived a discretionary bonus opportunity.
The Compensation Committee considers for each executive officer with a discretionary bonus opportunity whether a discretionary bonus is warranted. This bonus is not predicated on the achievement of the objectives and factors used in the annual incentive compensation plan. In making that determination, the Compensation
16
Committee focuses on the executives individual performance and may consider any objective or subjective factors that it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, including the recommendations of our CEO and our President as to other executives.
We occasionally pay special sign-on bonuses to executive officers outside of the annual incentive compensation plan described above, in order to help attract such officers to ManTech. Mr. Bryan received a sign-on bonus at the time of his commencement of employment in January 2008. This amount is shown in the bonus column of the Summary Compensation Table on page 24.
Stock Options
We provide long-term incentives to our executives through grants of stock options. The grants are designed to align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders and provide each such officer with a significant incentive to manage the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake in ManTech. We have selected options for this purpose because stock options provide value to our executives only if our stock price increases.
Each option generally becomes exercisable in annual installments over a three-year period, contingent upon the executives continued relationship with the Company. Accordingly, the option grant will provide a return to the executive only if he or she remains with the Company during the vesting period, and then only if the market price of the underlying shares appreciates. Vesting of the options accelerates in the event of the executives death or disability.
For each fiscal year, management recommends to the Compensation Committee a pool of shares to be used for the grant of options to employees. The recommendation for the size of the pool is based on the number of shares available under our Management Incentive Plan (including its evergreen provision), the expense that would be incurred from the grants, and the overall performance of the Company for the prior fiscal year. Management also recommends an allocation of the options among the corporate officers, division presidents and other key employees. Within these pools, management then recommends a number of shares for each individual. The Compensation Committee considers these recommendations when it makes a decision on grants of options to individual employees.
Generally, the amount of an annual option grant to an executive officer is largely based on the executive officers personal performance and the performance of any business unit for which the executive is responsible in the last fiscal year. The principal factors of business unit performance that are considered in this regard are revenue, EBIT, revenue growth, and EBIT growth. The amount of the grant may also depend on the officers current position with ManTech, the base salary associated with that position, the size of comparable awards made to individuals in similar positions within the industry, the individuals potential for increased responsibility, the need to attract the executive to ManTech and whether the officer has been recently promoted or hired. On occasion, the Compensation Committee may also consider the number of unvested options held by the executive officer in order to maintain an appropriate level of equity incentive for that individual. However, the Compensation Committee does not adhere to any specific guidelines as to the relative stock or option holdings of our executive officers.
We post a copy of our stock option grant policy on the Corporate Governance page on our Website. Under the policy:
| We use only four grant dates each year (Quarterly Grant Dates), except for options issued in connection with an acquisition; |
| For options issued in connection with an acquisition, such options are made effective seven days after closing the transaction (Special Grant Date); |
17
| All options have an exercise price equal to the closing price of our stock on Nasdaq on the grant date (or, if our stock does not trade on Nasdaq on the grant date, then the closing price of our stock on the previous trading day); |
| Each option vests in three equal annual installments, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant; and |
| Each option expires five years from the date of grant. |
All stock option grants made to our executive officers are approved by the Compensation Committee. Under our stock option grant policy, the Compensation Committee has delegated authority to our CEO and our President to determine stock option grants to our non-executive officers and other employees. The CEO and President may not approve an option grant in excess of 20,000 shares under this delegation of authority. The grants approved by the CEO and President must have the same terms and conditions as described above.
Employee Benefits
Our executive officers participate in the same employee benefit programs as other employees. These programs include tax-qualified retirement plans, health insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, travel accident insurance, and company-paid short term disability. Mr. Pedersen is not eligible to participate in our ESOP and does not participate in our 401(k) plan.
None of our current executives participates in a supplemental retirement plan. Our officers are also eligible to make salary deferrals into our Executive Supplemental Savings Plan. We do not make a contribution to the Executive Supplemental Savings Plan for executives.
Perquisites
Our executive perquisites generally involve minimal expenses. Our total incremental cost for perquisites for each named executive officer, other than Mr. Pedersen, was less than $10,000 in 2008. Mr. Pedersen is entitled to receive certain contributions and other benefits under the terms of his Retention Agreement as described below.
Determining the Amount of Each Type of Compensation
The compensation setting process is a collaborative process involving our CEO, our President and the Compensation Committee. To assist with its responsibilities, our Compensation Committee has retained Ernst and Young LLP (E&Y) as the Compensation Committees independent compensation consultant.
Our Independent Compensation Consultant
The Compensation Committee asks E&Y to perform an annual analysis of ManTechs overall competitiveness (with respect to compensation levels) to prevailing market levels for executive officers and outside directors. This work includes assisting the Compensation Committee in selecting the compensation peer group of companies.
From time to time, ManTech has also retained E&Y to perform financial due diligence in connection with certain merger and acquisition transactions, for which it receives a fee. The Compensation Committee has reviewed these arrangements and has determined that E&Y has sufficient controls in place to remain independent for purposes of performing its compensation consultant duties on behalf of the Compensation Committee.
For setting director compensation, the Compensation Committee receives a report from E&Y on the director compensation practices of our compensation peer group, the members of which are identified below. The Compensation Committee considers this report in setting levels of director compensation, but does not target director compensation at a particular percentage of the peer group data. Generally, the Compensation Committee reviews director compensation on an annual basis.
18
For setting executive compensation, our management receives a report of certain market information that is prepared for the Compensation Committee by E&Y. Management reviews this information and determines the general executive compensation recommendations that it would propose to make to the Compensation Committee. Management reviews these tentative proposals with E&Y. After considering any input from the compensation consultant, management makes its compensation recommendations to the Compensation Committee for each executive officer other than the CEO. The Compensation Committee takes these proposals into account in making its decisions for these officers. The market information we use for this purpose is discussed in greater detail below.
Our Use of Market Information
The market information we use is based both on published compensation surveys for similarly-sized companies within the business software and services industry as well as proxy analysis of ManTechs compensation peer group. The published survey and proxy data are then blended with equal weight given to each to achieve market consensus figures for each executives total cash (including base salary and annual incentive) and, where data is available, total direct (including total cash as well as long-term incentives) compensation. Market consensus figures are presented at both the 50th and 75th percentiles of the market data to provide general information on a market competitive range of compensation for each position.
The three published surveys that ManTech used for compensation setting purposes for 2008 were (i) the Economic Research Institute 2008 Executive Compensation Assessor (the ERI Survey); (ii) the Mercer Human Resources Consulting 2007 Executive Survey Report (the Mercer Survey); and (iii) the Watson Wyatt Data Services 2007/2008 Industry Report on Top Management Compensation (the Watson Wyatt Survey). WorldatWorks 2007/2008 Total Salary Increase Budget Survey was also used to trend the data presented in the ERI, Mercer and Watson Wyatt surveys to March 1, 2008 by a factor of 3.9% to allow for varying effective dates of the data collected from those surveys.
Each of the surveys contains compensation data for a wide variety of both public and private companies from many different industry types. The component companies of the Mercer and Watson Wyatt Surveys are listed on Appendix A to this Proxy Statement. The component companies of the ERI Survey were not identified to ManTech. The general set of component companies from each survey is then sorted and refined to achieve a smaller set of companies that are similar to ManTech in terms of industry, revenue size, geographical scope and market positioning. This sorting is done on a position-by-position basis to match as closely as possible the job positions held by each of our executive officers, resulting in sets of companies that may differ slightly for each position. The individual companies composing each position set are not identified to ManTech. The data from each position set is then blended with the proxy data from ManTechs peer group for each position to achieve the market consensus figures for each position described above.
ManTechs peer group of companies is identified by management and approved by the Compensation Committee. The primary basis for selecting the peer group is to identify the companies with which ManTech competes directly for executive talent, customers, market share, capital and shareholders. For 2008, ManTechs peer group for compensation setting purposes consisted of the following 13 companies:
Ø BearingPoint, Inc. |
Ø CACI | |
Ø Computer Sciences Corporation |
Ø DynCorp International Inc. | |
Ø Electronic Data Systems Corp. |
Ø Maximus Inc. | |
Ø NCI, Inc. |
Ø Perot Systems Corporation | |
Ø SAIC, Inc. |
Ø SI International Inc. | |
Ø SRA International |
Ø Stanley Inc. | |
Ø Unisys Corporation |
19
Because we compete for executive talent in a broader market than just our specific industry, the compensation peer group is larger than the peer group of companies used for our performance graph that appears in our Annual Report. When using peer group information for compensation setting purposes, we do not engage in benchmarking our financial performance against the financial performance of the peer group companies.
No component of executive compensation is targeted at a particular percentile of the market information for any particular executive. Instead we use factors such as individual experience, responsibilities, performance, prior compensation levels, and the Companys concern with retaining the executive to determine targeted compensation for each executive. We then examine the market information as a reference point to review our compensation decisions. We generally provide more weight towards cash compensation if performance levels are met than stock-based compensation because stock-based compensation is not a recoverable cost under the terms of our government contracts. For some of our executives, this may result in targeted total cash compensation being above the market competitive range and targeted stock-based compensation being below the market competitive range for the position, with targeted total direct compensation generally falling within the range. However, because we do not set targeted compensation levels based on market information, any component of our executives targeted compensation for any year may be above or below the market competitive range for their respective positions.
For 2008, targeted total direct compensation for Messrs. Pedersen, Coleman and Bryan fell within the market competitive range for each of their respective positions, total direct compensation for Mr. Phillips was slightly below the market competitive range for his position, and market competitive data with respect to his targeted total direct compensation was not obtained for Mr. Mitchells position. Total direct compensation actually paid for 2008 for each of Messrs. Pedersen, Coleman and Bryan fell within the market competitive ranges for their respective positions and for Mr. Phillips was slightly below the market competitive range for his position.
CEO Compensation
The Compensation Committee determines the compensation of the CEO based on the terms of his Retention Agreement and the Compensation Committees evaluation of the same factors applied to the other executive officers. Historically and for 2008, our CEOs total annual cash compensation is and has been materially greater than the annual compensation for other NEOs, because of his responsibilities for the overall strategy of our Company and his active role in the operations of the Company.
We entered into the Retention Agreement with our CEO at the time of our initial public offering in 2002 for the purpose of providing stable management following the offering. The Retention Agreement is for an indefinite term and provides for an annual base salary of at least $1,000,000, to be reviewed annually by us and established for the upcoming year based substantially on the same factors and general compensation policy applicable to the Companys other executive officers. The Retention Agreement provides that Mr. Pedersen is entitled to receive contributions to qualified and non-qualified retirement plans, insurance programs and perquisites on the same terms they have been provided in previous years, including items such as the lease of an executive type of vehicle for business and personal use, a portion of an employees time spent on non-corporate matters on behalf of Mr. Pedersen (including attending to chauffeur/valet services and other assistance as required from time to time), club memberships and reimbursement of the costs of certain cell phone and home telephone/fax services.
If we terminate Mr. Pedersens employment without cause, we are required to pay Mr. Pedersen a lump sum amount equal to one years base salary at the rate in effect immediately prior to such termination of employment ($1,550,500 for 2008). Mr. Pedersen agrees not to compete with us and not to solicit our customers or employees during the term of his employment and through the severance period.
20
Other Matters Related to Compensation
Tax and Accounting Considerations
We have considered the potential impact of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (Section 162(m)) in structuring our executive compensation program. Section 162(m) disallows a tax deduction for any publicly-held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for the Chief Executive Officer or the other three most highly compensated officers (excluding the CFO), except for compensation that is performance-based under a plan that is approved by the stockholders and that meets other technical requirements. The stock options granted under our Management Incentive Plan are qualified as performance-based compensation. Annual cash incentives paid under the non-discretionary portion of our annual executive incentive compensation program are structured to be deductible as performance-based compensation under the Management Incentive Plan. The portion of Mr. Pedersens salary that exceeds the $1 million limit is not deductible and a portion of some bonuses in the past have not been deductible. Our policy is to pay our executives in the manner that we think is in the best interests of ManTech, while taking into account the implications of Section 162(m), as appropriate. This may result in the payment of salary or bonuses that are not tax deductible. To date, the missed tax deductions have been immaterial. Discretionary cash payments to certain of our executive officers (as described below) did not result in any non-deductible payments for 2008.
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123R) for the 2006 fiscal year. FAS 123R is an accounting standard that requires the fair value of all stock option awards issued to employees to be recorded as an expense over the period services are provided. For stock options granted in 2006 and later, we reduced the life of the options from ten years (used for prior grants) to five years, partially to reduce the expense associated with the grant of stock options. We consider the accounting effects of FAS 123R in establishing the pool for stock option grants each year.
Change in Control Benefits
The Company does not have any benefits that are payable only in the event of a change in control.
Recovery of Incentive Payments
We are subject to the requirements of Section 304 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 requiring us to recover certain incentive compensation payments made to our CEO or CFO in the event of a materially non-compliant financial report. We have never had occasion to recover an incentive compensation payment to our CEO or CFO under this provision and have not established any other policy regarding the forfeiture or recovery of incentive compensation.
2008 Compensation Decisions
NEO Salaries
For the 2008 fiscal year, the compensation of our executive officers was set and administered consistent with the philosophy and polices described above.
For setting the salaries of the NEOs for 2008, the primary factors considered were the NEOs salary for the prior year and personal performance. Mr. Mitchells salary was increased because of his appointment as an executive officer late in 2007. Mr. Bryans salary was set as part of his hiring as an executive officer in early 2008. The salaries for the NEOs are shown on the Summary Compensation Table on page 24.
After initially setting Mr. Colemans annual salary at $780,000 for 2008, the Committee subsequently approved an increase in his annual salary to $1,000,000 at its June 2008 meeting. The increase was recommended by the Companys CEO, and approved by the Committee based on the role of the president in the Companys
21
competitive positioning and Mr. Colemans individual value to the Company. The Committee also determined that Mr. Colemans annual incentive compensation plan for 2008 should continue to use a target of 85% of base salary, as adjusted. Mr. Colemans targeted total direct compensation for 2008 (including stock options) remained within the market competitive range of compensation data for his position following these increases.
NEO Incentive Compensation Annual Incentive Compensation Plan
A portion of each NEOs incentive compensation was determined pursuant to our 2008 incentive compensation plan. The plan provides for pre-established, non-discretionary formulas to measure our executives achievement of defined goals and objectives. Specifically, performance was measured by reference to targeted levels of the following performance factors at the Company-wide level: revenue, EBIT Percentage, DSO and Bookings; and the following performance factors at the business unit level (for executives with primarily business unit responsibilities): revenue growth, DSO and Bookings. A resulting aggregate performance was then translated by formula into an amount of incentive compensation, expressed as a percentage of base salary.
In 2008, the non-discretionary incentive compensation payments for each of Mr. Pedersen (our Chairman and CEO), Mr. Coleman (our President and COO), and Mr. Phillips (our Executive Vice President and CFO), were based solely on Company performance measures. The performance measures for each of these officers are shown in Note 4 to the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table on page 25. By using only Company-wide performance measures, the incentives for these executive officers were balanced for all aspects of the Companys business. Because each of these executive officers interacts with all of the Companys business units, the performance measures were intended to encourage them to attend to the entire business of ManTech and make decisions for the benefit of the entire Company. The four performance measures for these executive officers are equally weighted because each of these measures represents an important performance element for the Company.
Under the 2008 incentive compensation plan, Mr. Pedersen, Mr. Coleman, and Mr. Phillips had the same incentive compensation opportunity (expressed as a percentage of salary), which was from 0% to 120% of base salary depending on Company performance. Each had a target incentive compensation opportunity of 85% of base salary at targeted Company performance. The Companys actual performance for 2008 was 106% of the targeted performance, resulting in initial non-discretionary payments at 99% of each of Messrs. Pedersen, Coleman and Phillips annual base salary. Management recommended and the Committee approved a reduction in the amount of each of Messrs. Pedersen, Coleman and Phillips non-dicretionary incentive compensation payment by 10%, resulting in final non-discretionary payments to each executive at 89% of their annual base salary.
In 2008, the non-discretionary incentive compensation payments for Mr. Mitchell and Mr. Bryan were based on a combination of Company performance measures and performance measures for the business unit for which each of them was responsible. The performance measures for each of them are shown in Notes 5 and 6 to the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table on page 25. The Company-wide performance measures and business unit performance measures had an equal weight in determining each of their final performance scores. By using both Company-wide performance measures and business unit performance measures, each of their incentives were balanced between goals and objectives of the unit for which each of them was responsible and the goals for the Company as a whole. The performance measures were intended to encourage each of them to make decisions that benefited both their business unit and the Company as a whole. The weighting of the business unit performance goals, with business unit revenue growth having a weighting of 50% of the business unit performance goals in 2008, reflects the importance that the Compensation Committee and management placed on driving growth at the Companys primary business units in 2008.
Under the 2008 incentive compensation plan, Mr. Bryan and Mr. Mitchell each had the same incentive compensation opportunity (expressed as a percentage of salary), which was from 0% to 85% of base salary depending on Company performance and the performance of the business unit for which each of them was responsible. They each also had a target incentive compensation opportunity of 50% of base salary at targeted Company and business unit performance.
22
For 2008, the combined final performance score for Mr. Bryan was in excess of 115% of targeted performance. Consequently Mr. Bryan received the maximum non-discretionary annual incentive payment for 2008 of 85% of his base salary. The combined final performance score for Mr. Mitchell was 109% of targeted performance, resulting in a non-discretionary payment to Mr. Mitchell equal to approximately 70% of his annual base salary.
NEO Incentive Compensation Discretionary Bonus Payments
Messrs. Pedersen, Coleman and Phillips did not receive discretionary bonus opportunities for 2008.
Messrs. Bryan and Mitchell had maximum discretionary bonus opportunities for 2008 equal to 25% of each executives annual base salary. The Compensation Committee determined that a discretionary bonus was warranted for Mr. Mitchell. The amount of Mr. Mitchells bonus is shown in the Summary Compensation Table and represents a discretionary bonus equal to 25% of Mr. Mitchells base salary. Mr. Mitchells bonus reflects his individual contributions, as well as the overall performance of his business unit, including its EBIT performance, and the substantial increase in bookings, including contract awards, for his business unit.
NEO Stock Options
Stock option grants were made to each of the NEOs for 2008 in accordance with the philosophy and general practices described above. The value of each stock option grant to each NEO is listed on the Summary Compensation Table on page 24.
Mr. Bryan received a materially higher number of stock options in 2008 than the other NEOs as part of the overall compensation package designed to attract him to ManTech.
Consistent with past practice, because of the level of Mr. Pedersens stock ownership as Company founder, the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Pedersen would not be granted any stock options to purchase shares of our common stock in 2008.
2009 Compensation Decisions
At its meeting in March 2009, the Compensation Committee completed its review of executive compensation proposals from management for the Companys 2009 fiscal year, and decided that the executive compensation program for 2009 would be similar in structure to the program for 2008. The Compensation Committee noted that Mr. Coleman had announced his resignation and that Mr. Bryan had transitioned to a non-executive officer role. As a result, the Compensation Committee determined that neither Mr. Coleman nor Mr. Bryan would participate in the 2009 annual executive incentive compensation program.

All amounts in this row relate to the ManTech Executive Supplemental Savings Plan (the ESSP). The ESSP is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that allows certain executives and other highly compensated employees to make voluntary deferrals of compensation. The operation of the ESSP is subject to the rules of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. An executive may make deferrals of base salary and bonuses. A participant in the ESSP may select from various mutual funds and similar investments for the deferrals. ManTech does not make any matching or other contributions based on an executives deferral. An executive is fully vested in their deferrals and any deemed earnings. When a deferral is made, a participant can elect a future time to receive a distribution of that deferral, adjusted for any earnings or losses. Under limited circumstances, the participant may elect to defer that distribution to a future date. Distributions can also be made on an unforeseeable emergency that constitutes a substantial hardship to the participant. Otherwise, distributions are made at termination of employment for any reason, including death or disability. Any distribution at termination to an executive officer would be delayed for six months except for a distribution at death. |
Amounts in the ESSP may be invested in the equivalent of 19 different mutual funds that are held within life insurance policies held in a trust for the ESSP. During 2008, the equivalent funds in which investments were held and their 2008 annualized earnings were: T.Rowe Price Equity Income (35.75%), Fidelity VIP II Contrafund (37.16%), T.Rowe Price New America Growth (38.31%), GoldmanSachs VIT Mid Cap Value (40.13%), AIM V.I. Capital Development (47.10%), Alliance Bernstein VPS International (56.98%).
Other Potential Post-Termination Payments
Ø | Retirement or other Termination by the Executive |
On his retirement or other termination of employment, Mr. Bryan would be entitled to the payment of the balance in his ESSP account, which was $37,744 on December 31, 2008.
None of our other executives would receive any payment from ManTech on a retirement or other termination by the executive.
Ø | Termination without Cause |
Under his Retention Agreement, if Mr. Pedersen is terminated without cause, he is entitled to a lump sum amount equal to his base salary (which was $1,550,000 as of December 31, 2008). For this purpose, cause means (i) a material violation by Mr. Pedersen of the Retention Agreement, which he fails to cure to ManTechs reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after ManTech delivers written notice specifically identifying such violation; (ii) Mr. Pedersens willful failure to act in a manner consistent with his responsibilities or with the best interests of ManTech, which he fails to cure to ManTechs reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after ManTech delivers written demand for satisfactory performance that specifically identifies the manner in which ManTech believes that he has not satisfactorily performed his duties; or (iii) Mr. Pedersens conviction of a felony (other than an offense related to the operation of an automobile that results only in a fine, license suspension or other non-custodial penalty) or other serious crime involving moral turpitude.
If he had been terminated in 2008, Mr. Bryan would have received the amount from the ESSP described above.
None of our other executives are entitled to any payments on a termination without cause.
27
Ø | Death or Disability |
On death or disability of an executive, all unvested stock options vest and may be exercised. If unvested options had been vested and exercised as of December 31, 2008 (based on the closing price of ManTech stock on the last trading day of 2008), the value realized on exercise for these options would have been: Mr. Phillips $835,219; Mr. Coleman $1,024,245; Mr. Bryan $670,450; and Mr. Mitchell $394,920.
In addition, on the death of an executive, the following amounts would have been payable from life insurance policies for which ManTech paid the premiums as of December 31, 2008: Mr. Pedersen $625,000; Mr. Phillips $1,250,000; Mr. Coleman $1,250,000; Mr. Bryan $1,230,000; and Mr. Mitchell $870,000.
On a termination due to permanent disability of an executive, there would be no amounts payable from ManTech but eligible executives would be entitled to payments from a disability insurance policy. Long-term disability pays 60% of salary with a maximum monthly benefit of $15,000. The benefit is generally payable until age 67.
On death or disability, Mr. Bryan (or his beneficiary) would receive the amount from the ESSP described above.
Ø | Change in Control |
None of our executives are entitled to any additional payments due to a change in control of ManTech.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The Audit Committee reviews ManTechs financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal financial controls, for preparing the financial statements and for the public reporting process. Deloitte & Touche LLP (D&T), our Companys independent auditor for 2008, is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles. Additionally, D&T is responsible for expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
In this context, we have reviewed and discussed with both management and our independent auditor the Companys audited financial statements, managements assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting, and D&Ts evaluation of the Companys internal control over financial reporting, in each case for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Audit Committee has discussed with D&T those matters required to be discussed by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended, and as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T.
D&T has provided us with the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountant pursuant to applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountants communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. The Audit Committee has discussed with D&T the auditors independence from the Company and its management. The Audit Committee has concluded that D&Ts provision of audit and non-audit services to the Company is compatible with D&Ts independence.
Based upon the considerations, reviews and discussions referred to above, we recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board of Directors approved) the inclusion of the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2008.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
PROPOSAL 2
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for selecting and appointing our independent auditors. The Audit Committee has appointed the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP to serve as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, subject to the ratification of such appointment by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting. Although stockholder approval is not required by our bylaws or otherwise, we are submitting the appointment of D&T for ratification in order to obtain the views of our stockholders.
In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee will reconsider its appointment. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, appoint a different independent auditing firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee believes that a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
In appointing D&T as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2009, the Audit Committee considered whether D&Ts provision of non-audit services to the Company is compatible with maintaining the auditors independence.
D&T served as our independent auditor in 2008. We expect that representatives of D&T will be present at the Annual Meeting and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. Those representatives will also have an opportunity to make a statement or comment on the financial statements if they wish to do so.
Policy Regarding Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permitted Non-audit Services
Our Audit Committee charter contains the Audit Committees policy for pre-approval of audit and permitted non-audit services performed by our independent auditor. The requirement for pre-approval, in part, allows us to assess whether the provision of such services might impair the auditors independence.
The Audit Committee approves the annual audit services engagement and (if necessary) any material changes in terms, conditions and fees resulting from changes in audit scope or other matters.
The chairman of the Audit Committee has been authorized by the Audit Committee to pre-approve any services arising during the year that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee at the time of the annual audit services engagement. Services that are pre-approved by the Audit Committee chairman are then communicated to the full Audit Committee, for informational purposes only, at the Audit Committees next regularly scheduled meeting.
For each proposed service, the independent auditor is required to provide back-up documentation detailing the service. The Audit Committee regularly reviews summary reports provided to us by our independent auditor. During 2008, all services performed by D&T were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the Audit Committees pre-approval policy.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
Review and Approval of Transactions with Related Persons
In 2007, the Board adopted a policy and procedures for the review, approval and monitoring of all transactions involving the Company and Related Parties (the Policy). Under the Policy, a Related Party is any director, executive officer, director nominee, 5% or greater stockholder, or an immediate family member of any of these people. With certain exceptions that are detailed in the Policy, a Related Party Transaction is any arrangement, transaction or relationship in which the Company is a participant and any Related Party has or will have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity).
Under the Policy, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving all Related Party Transactions. If a director is involved in the proposed transaction, he or she will not participate in discussions and decisions about the proposed transaction. In determining whether to approve a proposed Related Party Transaction, the Audit Committee will take into account, among other factors:
| the material facts and circumstances of the transaction (such as the nature of the Related Partys interest, the value of the proposed transaction, the benefit to the Company and whether the transaction is on terms comparable to an arms-length transaction), |
| any potential impact on a directors independence, |
| public disclosure issues, and |
| any anticipated perception issues related to the transaction. |
If the Audit Committee approves a Related Party Transaction, and the transaction is anticipated to be continuing, the Audit Committee may establish guidelines for senior management to follow in those continuing dealings with the Related Party. In these cases, the Audit Committee is responsible for periodically (and at least annually) reviewing and assessing the ongoing relationships to ensure they are in compliance with the Audit Committees guidelines and that the Related Party Transaction remains appropriate. Additionally, the Audit Committee has adopted certain standing approvals for some common Related Party Transactions involving de minimis amounts (including certain types of compensation decisions for employees who are family members of Related Parties and charitable contributions to entities that have relationships with Related Parties) that fall below the minimum threshold for public disclosure.
The Policy requires that transactions that exceed the minimum threshold for disclosure in our proxy statement under the relevant SEC rules shall be disclosed in accordance with the applicable laws, rules and regulations.
Related Party Transactions
Employee Relationships
Ms. Christine Lancaster, our Assistant Vice President and Assistant Corporate Secretary, is the daughter of George Pedersen, our Chairman of the Board and CEO. Ms. Lancaster has been employed by us on a full-time basis since 1984. In 2008, Ms. Lancaster received salary compensation of $130,156 and a bonus of $12,500.
Certain of our executive officers have relatives who work for us. In all of these cases, the amount of compensation paid to such family members is less than the amount that would require disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K.
33
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No members of our Compensation Committee in fiscal year 2008 were officers or employees of the Company or former officers of the Company and no members of our Compensation Committee had any relationship with the Company during fiscal year 2008 requiring disclosure as a related party transaction under the SECs rules.
None of our executive officers in fiscal year 2008 served as a director or member of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent functions) of any other entity which had an executive officer serving as one of our directors or member of our Compensation Committee.
